What else can I help you with?
An example of a wave that can travel through empty space?
radio heat light infrared green ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray gravity waves
What type of wave is not a mechanical wave?
Mechanical waves require a medium to travel through. Examples of mechanical waves are sound waves, water waves, a vibrating string. (See related link).Electromagnetic waves (such as light, radio waves, X-rays, microwaves) do not need a medium to travel through, so these are not mechanical waves.Certain phenomena in quantum mechanics exhibit wavelike behavior, and also does not require any medium to travel.An example of a wave that is not a mechanical wave is a light wave. A mechanical wave is a wave that needs a medium to travel through. Light can travel in space, where there is no medium (no air)
Which types of these waves is not a mechanical wave?
Examples of mechanical waves are waves in the ocean and sound waves from devices like mouths, trombones, and radios. Electromagnetic waves like sunshine and X-rays are not mechanical waves because matter is not doing the waving.
How can the speed of a mechanical wave be calculated?
The speed of a mechanical wave can be calculated by multiplying the wavelength of the wave by its frequency. The formula is speed = wavelength x frequency. This relationship arises from the fact that speed is the rate at which the wave is moving through a medium, determined by the distance the wave travels in a given time period.
What is the opposite of a mechanical wave?
The opposite of a mechanical wave is an electromagnetic wave. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through, unlike mechanical waves which require a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light, radio waves, and X-rays.
Is an X-ray wave a mechanical wave?
No, an X-ray is not a mechanical wave. An X-ray is an electromagnetic wave. However, in polar molecules, an X-ray can cause the molecule to vibrate rapidly, just like a microwave oven can.
What is the amplitude of an X ray?
There is no specific amplitude for each type of wave. You should consider the amplitude to be the loudness of the wave for example the louder the sound the larger the amplitude.
What are the examples of electromagnetic wave that we can find in electromagnetic spectrum?
-- a radio wave -- a heat wave -- a yellow wave -- a blue wave -- an ultraviolet wave -- an X-ray -- a gamma ray
What has higher frequency an X-ray or a tv wave?
An X-ray is a high frequency (high energy) electromagnetic wave. It is much higher in frequency than any broadcast wave. The only electromagnetic radiation with higher frequency (shorter wavelength) than the X-ray is the gamma ray.
What electromagnetic wave has more energy than an x-ray?
A gamma ray has more energy than an X-ray.
An example of a wave that can travel through empty space?
radio heat light infrared green ultraviolet x-ray gamma ray gravity waves
Is an x-ray a compressional wave?
No.An x-ray is an electromagnetic wave. The varying electric and magnetic fields of which it is composed are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.It is a transverse wave, not compressional.
What energy is light an example of?
An x-ray
Which has the greatest frequency out of radio wave microwave infrared wave visible light ultraviolet light x-ray gamma ray?
gamma ray

What does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum x-ray or sound or infrared ray or radio wave?
Sound does not belong in the electromagnetic spectrum as it is a mechanical wave that requires a medium (such as air, water, or solid materials) to propagate, unlike x-rays, infrared rays, and radio waves which are forms of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through a vacuum.
Why X-ray did not in liquid?
Because it is light, a kind of wave.
